Regular maintenance parts
Greetings Juan,
Have you considered ordering a new valve cover gasket as well as a new oil cap from this site? I think both will probably fix your problem as the valve cover gasket becomes brittle with heat and the oil fill cap loses it's gasket sealing ability over time. Both are pretty cheap to buy and will cure this problem for you. Hey, while you have the valve cover off anyway to change out the gasket, check and set the valves clearances. Charles
